"Aviation Photo Thread" (Planes, Helos, Balloons, etc)...

We've had a few of those visiting our local airport recently. Impressive machines.
Very impressive, and extremely complex. Complex to the point it is considered not the most reliable aircraft...
Back in my motherland -Italy-, AgustaWestland (now Leonardo, once partner with Bell) has been trying to launch its commercial version of the Osprey for years - unsuccessfully.

X-T1 + 50-230 at full magnification. I did a lot better than the first couple of times I tried tracking an F-18. Very loud, very fast, very cool to watch.

A few more interesting aircraft that have visited our humble aerodrome recently. All but the F/A-18 were part of our 70th Anniversary airshow this weekend.

A local press photographer was at our facility to document a visiting DC-3. I took advantage of the opportunity to document both. In the last image, I was hanging out of the cockpit window with my X-T1, when the fellow spotted me and began snapping away. :D
